From this article, they claim Sessions spoke to a crowd, “nearly half the size.”

So Texas delegates fly in for the weekend or drive 3-9 hours to Dallas and they can’t be bothered to listen to Senator Sessions address them. While Jeff speaks, some hold signs that say, “Thank you Ted” And the Delegates are there to represent 3 million R voters from Texas. Yea, don’t mess with Texas.

“Cruz — welcomed by supporters waving “Thank you Ted” signs — didn’t even once utter the name of Donald Trump.”

“And he didn’t talk about a need to unite behind Trump to beat Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, which rankled some delegates.”

“I couldn’t believe Cruz didn’t say something about unifying behind the presumptive nominee,” said Pat Carlson, a Fort Worth delegate, Trump supporter and former chairwoman of the Tarrant County Republican Party. “He only gave his campaign speech.”

“But the need to unite behind Trump was mentioned Saturday by a campaign surrogate for the billionaire, U.S. Rep. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.”

“LET’S PUT THIS TOUGH PRIMARY BEHIND US. ... WE CAN AND WILL UNITE.
U.S. Rep. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a surrogate for Donald Trump”

“Sessions spoke about two hours after Cruz, to a crowd about half the size, but encouraged Texans to rally behind Trump who has promised to address key issues including the economy and immigration.”

“This is a critical election,” he said, as some delegates raised signs that read “Thank you Ted” and “Go Trump.” “The American people are not happy.”

“Let’s put this tough primary behind us,” he said. “We can and will unite.”

I read the article. Here’s my take, which I know you will disagree with; the held Ted to the last day to speak, a lot of the people that were there were Ted supporters, Ted spoke, they left. I don’t get the idea that people left to be rude on purpose. But, the article says “Cruz was the highlight of the final day.” So some people came for Ted and left when he was done speaking. No great surprise. If the state republicans wanted people to attend to the end of the day perhaps they should have put Sessions in front of Cruz. Sounds like poor planning to me.
